Literature / A Short Story: My College Girl by sisanmattu: 10:49am On Feb 02, 2015 |
My College Gal. It was a thursday morning, twas one of those mornings wen you wished each minute of the hour had a hundred seconds. One never seem to have enof time revisin b4 any in course as diff topics flock around the mind demandin to be skimmed over Dr. Arokoyo had just stepped out of his posh lexus and hurriedly made his way towards the office complex of the college of health sciences to have the papers readied.The soon to be written paper gave me a rapidly pulsatile heartbeat but eniola did much more as she elegantly strolled in sendin goose bumps springin up on my dry skin .Oh yes it was dry. In my haste to leave for college i ditched every of my post bathroomi procedures. Her comeliness left little to be desired. Her heart-shaped face made a constructive interference with the stream of the sun rays sneakin in thru the window. I was nt to admire for much longer as the sly smile of Mr. Bamidele who just stepped in prompted me to scamper off and ready myself to be checked in for the paper. i did so mutterin some curses. |

Health / The Man Who Died Thrice Medically But Still Lives by sisanmattu: 11:24am On Oct 06, 2014 |
The story tells of the grace of God and the endurance of love between a man and a woman. I was privileged to witness both aspects as it played out in Garki Hospital, Abuja. Death Number One Mr. Ikechukwu Obiora was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed. He was unconscious, desperate and dying. He had suffered a stroke and had rivers of blood inside his brain. After the emergency brain scan, we rushed him into the theatre and put two drains in his head to remove blood clots. This released the massive pressure on his brain. However, he remained unconscious, dead to the world and had to be transferred to the intensive care unit for a machine to breathe for him. We intubated him by passing a tube through the mouth, the neck, his throat and into the lungs. This helped him breathe and so sustained his life. Death Number Two After about 10 days in the intensive unit, we decided to drill a hole directly in his throat (tracheostomy) to help him breathe. This helps us in cleaning the chest and reduces the work of breathing in patients who cannot breathe well by themselves. On removing the tube at what we thought was a safe period, he deteriorated immediately and died in his bed. He could not breathe, as his throat had swollen shut and cut off air going into the lungs. We rushed to resuscitate him, keep him alive and then secured the tube back into his lungs with great difficulty. Luckily, he rallied round and survived this second ordeal. Death Number Three Part of the management of this type of stroke is to shrink the brain, thus reducing the pressure inside the skull. We use a drug called Mannitol. This is a type of sugar which draws water out of the brain to reduce swelling. The same drug is removed through the kidneys, and in large doses can damage the kidneys. Well, that is exactly what happened! His kidneys packed up and stopped removing dirty, poisonous waste from his body. The waste was killing him, again! He became swollen like the famous Michelin man, full of water and waste that the body could not get rid of. Thus, we had another major problem to fix. This required dialysis. Dialysis is the means of using machines to clean the blood and remove the poisonous waste products from our body. Ikechukwu had dialysis every week for months till his kidneys recovered sufficiently to do the job themselves. Yet he lives! It was obvious that God has a major plan for Mr. Obiora. He survived death on three occasions and today lives to tell the tale. Well, not really. He does not remember these most trying times. The single rock of support and his historian (the person who knows what he went through) is his wife. She stood by him through thick and thin till today. She supported him day and night and suffered through the agonies, his trials and tribulations, deaths and life! That is everlasting love. The kind of love you and I pray for. |
